Painting Interior - Stripped cars.

[dmallett]

Few questions and some advice needed.

My car currently looks this,

I want to paint/get painted from behind the front doors through to the boot (still have roof liner)
How hard is it to do yourself? Or is it worth paying to get it done? (If so rough prices please)
If i am going to paint in my self, I will obviously need to mask everything off etc im aware of this.
What sort of paint would you use? primer then paint or just paint ?

I know this is a whole lot of question, was thinking going mattblack as got some carbon door cards and boot skin on the way.
Cheers

takes ages to prep and uses a fair whack of paint.

Im sure some one on here paid 600ish for a full interior job on thers. Which may sound expensive but it probably takes the same amount of time to fully prep the exterior. I would paint the full inside though, wont look right with it half painted and half carpet.. plues there will be a lot of masking out to do.

prep.
320 the whole interior, anywhere thats a pain to get to use red scotch. Fully hoover the car and panel wipe
masking.
you will also need to mask most of the exterior aswell, due to overspray.
priming.
no really needed but no harm in putting a light coat on before paint.

I was thinking about doing it like this (Pinched from Bomber) And getting some black carpet from another clio to go in.
Also planned on blocking off from behind the bucket seats with a big sheet lol.

thats looks pretty good tbh, id go for that. if you have time to spare then do it yourself to save some $$

Im going to try paint it myself, if it turns out bad ill get it done professionally.

For the record to get what bomber did to the silver clio above costs roughly £300 in a body shop!

just seen this, id have done it myself but was in a massive rush to get it done before a holiday/mag feature/road trip thing so had to pay a bodyshop. it had no front carpet when finally done properly but looked good.

when i got round to sorting the whole lot properly, i didnt bother with primer but did give most of it a quick rub down. its only interior panels at the end of the day, not show and shine exterior...
